The Next Best Fling

He wants the bride, she wants the groom. But what if all they really want... is each other? Two broken hearts decide that the best way to get over their first loves is with a no-strings-attached fake dating relationship in this spicy and charming debut romance.

Librarian Marcela Ortiz has been secretly in love with her best friend for years - but when he gets engaged, it's time to move on. Before she gets the chance, she has a bigger problem to contend with in the form of Theo Young, ex-NFL player and older brother of the man she loves.

When she discovers Theo's plans to confess his feelings for his brother's fiancée at their engagement party, Marcela stops him - despite how tempting it is to let him run away with the bride-to-be. Managing to convince Theo to sleep off his drunken almost-mistake at her place, when they arrive at a family brunch the next day, everyone wrongly assumes they hooked up.

Since Theo needs a cover for his feelings for the bride and Marcela needs a distraction from her unrequited feelings for the groom, they decide to roll with the lie. Until one late night at a bar, they take it a step further. Soon, they're exploring the simmering chemistry between them, whether in library aisles or Marcela's bed.

No boundaries. No strings attached. Until their rebound starts working. Maybe a little too well...
